Village Board approves Springdale design plan, OKs $286,345 Safe Routes project and appoints Wendy West
Summary
At its July 9 meeting the Village Board of Trustees approved a design program for Springdale, authorized a Safe Routes-to-School street project on Milton from Prospect to Archer not to exceed $286,345, and confirmed Wendy West to a parks seat; all actions passed on roll-call votes.
The Village Board of Trustees met on July 9, 2026, approved several agenda items and completed an appointment. Trustees approved a recommended design program for a Springdale project, authorized a pavement/selection contract on Milton (from Prospect to Archer) as part of a Safe Routes-to-School grant partnership at a cost not to exceed $286,345, and confirmed Wendy West to a parks and recreation seat by roll-call votes.
The design program for Springdale was presented by staff and moved for approval by Trustee Sprinkle; the board voted in favor on a roll-call. The board next considered a street project described as part of the village’s Safe Routes-to-School partnership, with scope limited to Milton between Prospect and Archer. Trustee Ara moved the motion and Trustee Micah seconded; the board approved the project and the authorization includes the phrase “not to exceed $286,345.” The contract award was described as a grant partnership and staff noted the corridor and rough limits; no contractor name or further procurement details were provided in the meeting record.
The board also moved and approved a resolution to appoint Wendy West to the parks and recreation body. The resolution was introduced and approved by roll call; the transcript records a brief welcome and Ms. West’s thanks and an oath of office was scheduled to follow the confirmation.

Context and next steps The Milton corridor work was described as part of a grant partnership under the village’s Safe Routes-to-School efforts; the board’s authorization sets an upper budget limit but the meeting record does not specify the awarded contractor, funding breakdown, or implementation schedule. The treasurer said the June financial statements will be presented at the August meeting and the draft 2024 audit was under review. President Nenemeyer announced Willow Springs (WillowFest) for Aug. 13–16 and noted the August board meeting date change to Aug. 6 because of the festival. The meeting adjourned at 7:13 p.m.
